50p of every pound supports the club
The law requires at least 20% of a society lottery's proceeds to go to its good cause. We aim for 50%, because the whole point is to fund the club.
Where the money goesWhat the lottery pays for
Pinkston Panthers is run entirely by volunteers. Lottery income goes into the activities below, not into salaries.
Coaching
Our coached club night runs every Wednesday, all year round, for complete beginners through to serious competitors.
Boats and kit
Club boats, paddles, buoyancy aids and helmets so new members can try the sport without buying their own.
Slalom racing
Running slalom events as part of British Canoeing's National Ranking Races, and getting athletes to them.
Training trips
Training sessions at other sites in Scotland and in England for members who want to compete.
Latest draw results

Play safe: age limit and responsible gambling
Everything you need in one place: age rules, how to stay in control and where to get free, confidential help anywhere in the UK.
Age limit: 18+ only
- You must be 18 or over and live in Great Britain to buy an entry.
- The legal minimum age for society lotteries in Great Britain is 16. We have chosen 18+ for online play, in line with the National Lottery and good practice.
- We check age and identity before any entry goes into a draw. We may ask for proof of age before paying a prize.
- If a player is found to be under 18, all entries are cancelled, every payment is refunded and no prize is paid.
- Parents and carers: free tools such as Gamban and BetBlocker can block gambling sites on family devices.
Staying in control
- Play to support the club and for a bit of fun. A lottery is not a way to make money.
- Set a budget you can afford to lose. You can play a maximum of 5 entries (£5) per week.
- Never borrow money to play or try to win back money you have spent.
- Take a break, lower your entries or cancel at any time by emailing [email protected].
- Self-exclude from our lottery for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years. See how.
Spending more than you planned, chasing losses, hiding how much you play, feeling anxious or low about gambling, or gambling getting in the way of bills, work, study or relationships. If any of this sounds familiar, please talk to someone. Support is free and confidential.
